So it seems like the svn server stores passwords in a clear text file
unless you are using svn+ssh or https with client certs. NOT nice.

If anyone knows of any plugins/extensions/hacks/fixes that would enable
encryption of the server password file I would be interested.

Also if anyone could get a list of svn clients that support client
certificates for https it would be useful.

Finally information about clients that cache client passwords but don't
store the passwords in the clear would be nice to have.
